Aconex has secured a company-wide agreement with Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. (OHL), one of Spain's largest international concession and construction groups. As part of the deal, Aconex becomes OHL’s preferred solution for managing communication and documentation on its projects.

Obrascon Huarte Lain (OHL) boasts a hundred years' experience and has significant operations in 30 countries across all five continents. The selective and prudence based internationalization along with the R&D, as its productivity engine, are its two main axis of growth.

The OHL Group is presently:

• The world's eighth largest concessionaire, according to the 2011 ranking of PWF
• Ranked 21st among the 225 largest international contractors, according to the 2011 ranking of ENR 
• World leader in hospital building, and 
• Largest private investor in transport infrastructure in Latin America

Aconex will provide OHL with its web-based system for managing project processes and information, such as drawings, correspondence and workflows. By using the system, OHL and its project partners, will be able to access, distribute, track and archive project-related information in real time, from any location and at any time.

Yuval Attias, Aconex Regional Sales Director, said:”We are pleased to be supporting OHL as it expands its international project portfolio and believe our solution will provide significant value to its business.”

“When working as part of a consortium there is debate regarding which company’s document management system and processes to implement. One of the main benefits of Aconex is its neutrality, where all project participants maintain complete ownership and control over their information. This helps to ensure high adoption and usage across the project team, supporting multi-party collaboration – a key component of project success.”
